Redmanol is not exactly a pipe brand but the name of a synthetic material,
a phenol-formaldehyde resin very close to Bakelite, first developed in
1907 by Leo Hendrik Baekeland. Redmanol and also Condensite were competitors
to Bakelite. The courts found that Redmanol and Condensite both infringed
on Baekeland's patents, and in 1922 the three companies merged as the "Bakelite
Company".

The "Reiner" brand was created by Reiner Klein in
1983. He mainly carved non-filter pipes which is rather rare for a German
pipemaker. In 1989 Rüdiger Lutz Will bought the business
and the brand. After 9 months Reiner Klein came back and
stayed as Will's collaborator until 1997. During this period Reiner Klein
was in charge of the production and R. L. Will dealed with marketing and
design. When they split, the later continued to market "Reiner" pipes
he designed and had them crafted in Germany, Denmark or Holland.
